Rahm: Whose 'character, judgment' do you want in the WH?

Politico ^ | Nov 19. 2011 | MAGGIE HABERMAN

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is set to give a full-throated defense of his former boss, President Obama, at the Iowa Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, where he'll make the first national speech of his current career.

At another point, he'll say, "In the next four years there will be more challenges and more crises that will determine the economic vitality of the middle class and the economic future of this country. Whose character, whose judgment, do you want in that office?"

He will also focus on the issue of people doing their "fair share" and middle class preservation.

We know whose "character, judgment" we do NOT want in the WH: Obama's.

[JimSEA]

Actually, that is a fair, good question. My answer will not be Obama or Romney.

Neither Rahm nor Zer0 could even come close to carrying even Jackson’s alcohol.

[Mr. K]

Good question to ask~!

[Cicero]

Odd person to go to for a character reference.

a demon recommending another demon.

"In the next four years there will be more challenges and more crises that will determine the economic vitality of the middle class and the economic future of this country. Whose character, whose judgment, do you want in that office?"

Not the guy and the party that put us in this disgusting situation~

“That’s something that’s very important to me. And I’ve said before that one of the great strengths of the United States is - although as I mentioned, we have a very large Christian population, we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation; we consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.” - Barack Obama

I screwed up. Thought we were rid of Tinklebell.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

The next 10 days or so will rock the financial markets globally. Let’s see how the empty suit (0bama) displays character, judgement”.

[Billthedrill]

I'm all for consistency in leadership, and in the interest of consistency we should all vote 0bama. The other guys might or might not get it right, but with Bambi you know he'll get it wrong.

(If I need a sarcasm tag on that you're in the wrong forum.)

[NeverForgetBataan]

What do you think is going to happen?

[goodnesswins]

Easy...NO DEM/LIB/Commie or RINO

[Paladin2]

Interesting personal FR page.

Would Laz hit the Ummah?

[Zuben Elgenubi]

All financial institutions in Europe are desperately selling sovereign bonds, the back bone of the individual nations' financial systems. Who's going to buy Greek or Italian bonds? The Italians are offering 7% for the risk with little takers.

Bank of America holds extensive EU bond positions, along with understated toxic assets associated with the mortgage bubble.

I predict the TooBigToFail Bank of America will go bankrupt in the next 10 days, Yogi.

"At another point, he'll say, "In the next four years there will be more challenges and more crises that will determine the economic vitality of the middle class and the economic future of this country."

Code speak for a Marxist takeover.

[SumProVita]

Didn’t Rhahm work at Goldman Sachs? And didn’t he dump stock days before big losses?

Character?

[SumProVita]

“...we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation...”

WE? You and that little demon in your pocket, Mr. Obama?

How shameful that those whose political beliefs are so foreign to the principles and ideas of liberty of America's Declaration and Constitution, as articulated by Jefferson and Jackson, should use a Jefferson-Jackson meeting in such a manner.

By the Founders' formula, "the People's" written Constitution was the anchor of our liberties, binding government to the "People's" limitations on its power.

The current Administration, in effect, attempts to undo all the monumental work accomplished by the Founders on behalf of liberty and leaves the law afloat and without anchor, relying, as of old, on mere men and women.

From Page xv of "Our Ageless Constitution," allow me to include here excerpted words from President Andrew Jackson's Proclamation of December 10, 1832:

"We have received it [the Constitution] as the work of the assembled wisdom of the nation. We have trusted to it as to the sheet anchor of our safety in the stormy times of conflict with a foreign or domestic foe. We have looked to it with sacred awe as the palladium of our liberties, and with all the solemnities of religion have pledged to each other our lives and fortunes here and our hopes of happiness hereafter in its defense and support. Were we mistaken, my countrymen, in attaching this importance to the Constitution . . .? No. We were not mistaken. The letter of this great instrument is free from this radical fault. . . . No, we did not err! . . . The sages . . . have given us a practical and, as they hoped, a permanent* Constitutional compact. . . . The Constitution is still the object of our reverence, the bond of our Union, our defense in danger, the source of our prosperity in peace: it shall descend, as we have received it, uncorrupted by sophistical construction, to our posterity. . . ."

*Underlining added for emphasis

And, it was Thomas Jefferson who used another metaphor with reference to the Constitution when he indicated that "the People" must "bind them (government) by the chains of the Constitution." In another instance, he declared: "It was intended to lace them up straitly within the enumerated powers. . . ."
